Note the comment about getting the best players out of Louisiana. Admirable goal, but wouldn't he best be served by KEEPING the best players in Mississippi? http://www.nola.com/sports/t-p/index.ssf?/base/sports-18/1115704550167150.xml
So he's got the alumni bending over and grunting. That'll come in handy when they play the Tigers. :hihi:
Given the intense nature of both Orgeron and Miles, looks like the LSU-Ole Miss rivalry will be as good as ever over the next few years. lefire:
This dude is starting to get annoying. Ole Miss is the left foot of the SEC Football Giant - with this dope at the helm, it's like we suddenly have a raging case of Athlete's Foot...
What a sideshow. If I had a kid fielding scholarship offers this kind of over the top B.S. would raise so many red flags, I wouldn't even know where to begin. No way I'd send somebody off to play for that kind of coach. I'm SO happy this knucklehead is in the SEC.
Orgeron's entertaining to watch but difficult to understand. Nevertheless, his antics seem to have endeared him to the Ole Miss faithful ..... he's got them excited about the potential of ole Miss football again and they're making some bold claims in The Grove. Now, whether he can fulfill any of his implied promises is another story. I can't seem to get by the fact that OM was willing to ditch an experienced HC in Cutcliffe to hire one that has zero HC experience, and little experince as a phantom DC/Asst. while at SoCal. Some OM fans state that Orgeron will coach and coordinate the defense in addition to his HC responsibilities, but if that's the case, why not hire an experienced DC and D-line coach to lean on? If I understand correctly, Orgeron promoted a GA to the D-line coach position, meaning his primary strength now becomes a suspect weakness? And he hired Mazzone??? I don't even know how Mazzone is able to coach at the D-1 level after some of his boneheaded calls at NCSU and AU. To this day we still joke about the obvious predictability of Mazzone's playcalling. Remember the back-to-back QB sneaks he called for Phillip Rivers to lose the Ohio State game? They had OSU on the ropes and an NFL 1st round draft pick at QB and he calls back-to-back sneaks? Bwaaaa-haaaa-hhaaaaaa :rofl: An interesting comparison for OM fans are Gamecocks fans. They are just as excited about their future under Spurrier, but I don't see them making the wild, outlandish predictions I keep hearing out of Oxford regarding titles and such. OM fans are definitely buying what Orgeron is selling......I guess time will tell, but it would appear on the surface that Orgeron is outpunting his coverage before the game has even started.
From a money / exposure / season ticket sales / excitement / fresh donor blood standpoint, Orgeron is exactly what the doctor ordered for Ole Miss. I just can't see how it will translate into a winning football team.
HAHA! Yea right! Ole Miss fans will buy what anybody was selling them, their football team sucks and they are praying that a position coach can lead their team to something special?! They better get used to scraping the bottom of the SEC & hoping they make a bowl game (if they aren't already). USC fans have something to hope for - they have a proven coach. What he can do with USC is yet to be seen, but they have a WHOLE lot more going for them than Ole Miss.
